Corp. Donald M. Wonderly is leading a seventeen-piece band composed of infantrymen who fought in the Ardennes campaign and are now playing band music over station AFN, Reims, the radio station covering the redeployment area in northeastern France. The band, Champion of the "Battle of Bands" contest between 15 bands held in Reims last June, is known as .the "Kentucky Colonels" of the 291st regiment, 75th Division. The regiment forms part of the supply FUb-j.rpn headquarters complement and aids in the shift of troops from Europe to the United States and the Pacific. Oanized at camp Breckinridge, Kentucky, the band continued to pluy as a unit when the 291st arrived in Wales in November. 1944. Foe their participation in the Ardennes campaign, band members have been awarded five Bronze Star Medals for their meritorious service. Most of the men were machine gunners and riflemen while on the line. Wonderly entered service Feb ruary 9, 1943, and took basic !r:iiniiiL' at Camn Hood. Texas. He also trained at Springfield Ohio, as an Air Cadet and later transferred to Camp Brecken ridge. Ky. He left for overseas in Octo ber, 1944.

Phoenix which is returning to the states for overhaul and to give leave to its crew, according to a release to the News-Times from the ship's Pacific base this week. The Pheonix escaped damage in the Pearl Harbor attack, then fought through the New Guinea, New Britian and New Georgia campaigns. In the battle of Surigao Straits she was the closest heavy ship I to the Jap fleet trying to steam through the passage and she fought it out with the leading Jap battleship without gating a scrach.- At Leyte Gulf one of our destroyers went down and her torpedoes were released accident-ly.

R. of R D. 1, Amherst. The Ticonder-oea is part of the p o werf ul Pacific Fleet en gaged in oc cupying Japan, and participated in the gigantic carrier raid against the Jap naval base a t Kure and other installations on the Japanese home island of Hanshi during a two-day raid prior to the Japanese surrender. The flattop's fighters and bombers swooped in on their targets, which included one of Japan's few remaining battleships, the Hyuca. Severely damaged and left burning after several explo sions, the vessel was later found i to have sunk. Several times during the two day raid, enemy planes approached the formation but were driven off by the fighter cover overhead which succeeded in knocking down nine of the attacking enemy planes. Sedensky is the son of Mrs. John Vincze, R. D. 1, and joined the Navy in December, 1942. A graduate of Amherst high school, he was formerly employed at the Western Automatic Co., Elyria. His wife, the former Jeanne Fazcy, resides in Amherst. Sedensky has two younger brothers in the Navy. Joe, 25, and Steve, aged 20, who will both have served in the Navy three years in December, and when last heard from were somewhere in the Ryukyu islands. Sam Trifiletti, Lorain contractor, was awarded the contract for construction of a sanitary sewer on Hamilton street for his low bid of S2.150. Village engineer Tom Laundon explained the operation of the new sewer which includes a pump. The original sewer was built too low to permit adequate drainage and a pump had to be installed to facilitate the darinage. Fire Chief Al Stiwald requested that council connect the air raid siren to the fire alarm system, enabling firemen to receive the alarmj even though they may not be in their homes at the time the alarm is given. The siren will be synchronized with the individual alarms and will have a con trol switch at the fire station. The blowing of the siren will in dicate a township fire and fires within the city limits will be an nounced by the ringing of the bell at the Town Hall. The fire chief also requested that council purchase some of the auxiliary fire equipment now be ing offered for sale by the gov ernment. Because of a misinter pretation in .the reading of the government a d v e r Using, the council last week turned down the proposal. It was later discov ered that individual pieces of equipment could be bought without purchasing the entire unit. The items can be purchased at a fraction of their market value, some as low as one-tenth the price on the open market. Council authorized the purchase of several hundred feet of hose, ladders, axes, shovels, and several coats. David Davis and Paul Wottring represented the residents of Sunset drive in requesting the extension of a water line for ap proximately three hundred feet on that street. The water com mittee was instructed to meet with Waterworks representatives concerning this and also a water lir extension on South Lake streV- The same committee was authorized to meet with Charles Ciszl and trace the origin of the sewer which empties onto the Hazel property on South Main street and recommend possible solutions for the existing situa tion.

The street committee was instructed to investigate the reported sinking of catch-basins east of the Legion home on Cleveland avenue and the committee is to authorize the necessary repairs to be made.

'Amherst has a very green and inexperienced team to put on the field against Lorain Reserves next Friday," said Coach. Virgil Pincombe today in describing this year's high school eleven. Pincombe continued, "There ore only four lettcrmen back from last year's squad and this year's team is being built around them. They are Wilhelm, Shans, Green and Lodge." Thirty-eight boys comprise the 1945 roster, with about twenty- five freshmen and sophomores and eight upper-classmen, all out for the first time. Although the boys are fairly large in size, they lack experience, a vitally necessary factor in making a football team. This fact was brought home in the several scrimmage games in which the local team has competed against teams from schools in surrounding communi- Chowder Dinner And Trap Shoot At Fish And Game A chowder dinner and trap shoot are being sponsored by the Lorain County Fish and G:;.e Association Sunday, September 23, at its club grounds on North Ridge Road.

Although the boys offered" plenty of physical resistance, they laced the experience necessary to cope with the opposition's strategy and lost their practice sessions mostly on that count. Coach Pincombe stressed the fact that until the entire community gets behind the team in spirit, the team will be weak and nexperienced. He illustrated this statement with the number of upper-classmen who are in uniform for the first time this year. "We can't make a boy a foot ball player in one year," the coach stressed. "If many of these boys had come out for the squad their sophomore, year, we might have a pretty strong ball club this year. With the large number of freshmen and sopho mores out this year we should have a good team in two years but that won't do-us any good this year". The coach stated that four times as many boys were injured last year in sandlot football as were injured in high school playing. He opined that if these sandlot players had come out for the team, they would not have had such a risk of being injured and they would have received excel lent training in the nation's lead- ni; fall sport. ' Tne local school recently pur chased five hundred dollars worth of new equipment, including a blocking dummy, tackling machine, fifteen complete uniforms, including all kinds of pads, and other miscellaneous equipment. It is hoped that a training program for younger boys can soon be worked out and put into operation, under which boys of junior high age would be given training, thus preparing them to take their places on the varsity squad when they reach the minimum age. Many other schools follow this policy and as a result are having much stronger varsity elevens. Several have become so stro.ig that they have joined leagues in which they face stronger opposition. The proposed set-up would follow a regular schedule of games with the embryo squad playing other young teams. This year's squad has Bill Wilhelm. center, Floyd Lodge, back-field, and Paul Shand, end, as veterans, around which to .form a new squad.

Coach Pincombe stressed the fact that until the entire community gets behind the team in spirit, the team will be weak and nexperienced. He illustrated this statement with the number of upper-classmen who are in uniform for the first time this year. "We can't make a boy a foot ball player in one year," the coach stressed. "If many of these boys had come out for the squad their sophomore, year, we might have a pretty strong ball club this year. With the large number of freshmen and sopho mores out this year we should have a good team in two years but that won't do-us any good this year". The coach stated that four times as many boys were injured last year in sandlot football as were injured in high school playing. He opined that if these sandlot players had come out for the team, they would not have had such a risk of being injured and they would have received excel lent training in the nation's lead- ni; fall sport. ' Tne local school recently pur chased five hundred dollars worth of new equipment, including a blocking dummy, tackling machine, fifteen complete uniforms, including all kinds of pads, and other miscellaneous equipment. It is hoped that a training program for younger boys can soon be worked out and put into operation, under which boys of junior high age would be given training, thus preparing them to take their places on the varsity squad when they reach the minimum age. Many other schools follow this policy and as a result are having much stronger varsity elevens. Several have become so stro.ig that they have joined leagues in which they face stronger opposition. The proposed set-up would follow a regular schedule of games with the embryo squad playing other young teams.
